still gunna have an uneven distribution... unless you pump a lot of air in there...

would love to get one, but wouldn't it be dangerous to your cylinders at the end? that get less air?

realistically, is there any danger?

yeah i was thinking the same. how do you know that it has been tested and each cyl gets the same flow ?

The thing is that if one cyl is leaning out all the time your going to pop it eventually.. I know of a car that had a brand new engine blow because of bad plenum design.. 7k down the drain.. If you plan on getting it tested yourself then it would be okay but get yourself a plasmaman for $100 more which has been tested and look great as well if you were going to go to that extreame.

I have a Stryder plenum which looks identical to that one suprisingly. Stryder are also located in bangkok.

Funny thing is i didnt think they were selling these any more but now different company makes them.

Experience with mine are all positive xcept for the warpped face flange, which meant i had to have it machined.

made an extra 15kw from this and a hks exhaust manifold. But power shifted from peak at 6400 to 7000 and curve is fatter .

Good quality welds and finish.

That's getting on the pricey side $875 delivered, for an unknown.

Wouldn't you want to pay just a tad extra and get the real thing? even 2nd hand?

How and where do you get these things flow tested byt the way?

And how much to do it?

Cheers :teehee:

i looked at these a while back, they look pretty good but iv been leaning more to getting one made and fitted to my stock runners.. if one is made up custom should i have to flow tested ?

You should have a look at the plazmaman ones that UAS have on their site (also mentioned earlier in the thread). They maintain the stock bottom runners.

keep the std one unless you want to go for big power

if you are always driving off boost i would get it flow tested cause you need to make sure each cylinder is getting equal amounts of air but once you start to make boost presure all the cylinders will get the same amount this has been talked about befor..

if you want somthing that is top qul then you need to spend the money

this is the one im using and all alot of people are now buying them they come form hypertune and i think they are the best on the market and they have dyno test to prove it

I didn't know hypertune made plenums for the rb25. I was under the impression they had ones for the rb26 only. Guess i will be checking that out at some point :blink:

hmm yeh but i mean 875 is still 400-500 in my pocket than 1300 if its been tested and im trying to find results here lol.... just the fact they say its been tested with even flow and looks shitloads better than the cheap cheap ones

this is the first 25 one hypertune have made i have seen the other ones they have made in use and seen the testing going into them so i got them to make me one it took about 3months so its not like they just slap somthing together they spend alot of time desinging them.

looks much better in design and workmanship then the other greddy copyies out there, plus it comes polished, where as the other ones are cast alloy

anywayz it looks good lol, but who knows if they perform good.....

would not worry about the air flow to cylinders... the way it is shaped looks good enough to me. tighter space at the rear than the front and as the air comes in it is forced to the back also.

Companies don't make these things without putting in serious thought and testing.

Usually this style of plenum as with a stock rb26 one causes more air to enter the rear cylinders. As for testing, i seriously doubt many companies do it properly, as the only way to do it is to put it onto a motor, and monitor the mixtures/ex temp of each cylinder at all different loads and rpm points. A flow bench wont replicate the real world, its like a dyno, only a comparative tool, as the flow bench cant replicate the pressure waves and so forth associated with running an internal combustion engine. In mt opinion the only way to make a perfect inlet manifold it would end up looking like an eshaust manifold with curved equal length runners which meet up at a common focal point facing the throttle body, and even then the throttle plate at lower angles would favour some cylinders. Some of the jap drift manifolds that use a remote throttle, with it piped to the centre of the tapered plenum look to be the closest that can be done.

Those Hypertune ones look good as , but my mate went there and got stuffed around for months , got lied to as well ( this is what he told me ) . He got a modded one done elsewhere with the neck out front , picked up 20 hp . Bet it flows the same as the hypertune one but for 1/5 th the price . Ill try and get a pick guys .

Ebay looks cool , but as they say looks good from far , but sometimes far from good . Greddy is cool to , but i think that it has the runners to short for street car . Laggy .

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
